Is there something you don't understand? What is it? Describe it.

Hello, I have connected the VueStorefront to the Magento 2 backend.
I need to add the category filters on the product page. I have imported the category_ids
attribute https://share.getcloudapp.com/QwuGnbgr and it shows on the sidebar, but it displays the category ID and not the name of the category.

Is there any way I can load the category name from its ID?
Thank you

Hi there, there is an additional product.category property that can solve the issue. Example data feed:

curl 'https://storefrontapi.storefrontcloud.io/graphql/' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' -H 'DNT: 1' -H 'Origin: https://storefrontapi.storefrontcloud.io' --data-binary '{"query":"{ products (filter:{\n      type_id:{eq:\"configurable\"}\n}) {\n  items { \n    name\n    category { name, slug, category_id }\n    price\n    description\n    configurable_children { name, price }\n  }\n}\n}\n\n"}' --compressed

The structure:

 category { name, slug, category_id }

You need to include this field in the config.entities.productList.includeField

I used category_ids but it only gives the Ids of the categories
So what exactly the right way to get the category,
Under config.entities.productList.includeField I wrote category and product.category
Then inside defaultFilters I wrote them , but nothing is shown
